They are Coming! Not the British Though

As I prepare my 10th and maybe my last installment of the Green Noise I leave you with a final post about the Olympics. It's coming!! I love the olympics, it is my favorite part of the year. I prefer the summer games over the winter games but it is still fun to watch the winter games. So coming this February you will find me sitting on the couch doing nothing but watching the greatest athletes in the world compete on the highest stage. I hope I don't have much homework over that time period.

Is Poker even a Sport?

Last night on ESPN 2 they aired the world series of poker final table. I stayed up for a little while and watched just to see what was up. I enjoy to play poker with my friends and will watch it on occasion for a short period of time. While I was watching last night I was thinking, is this really a sport? Though it was on a sports TV network does it really constitute as a sport? I personally think it falls in the same category as NASCAR. Either way I was just amazed at the amount of money you win for not even winning the whole thing. There was some guy who got over a million dollars and he got like 10th.
